Story
Meet Max!Max is a big, goofy sweetheart who is full of love to give. As a 10 month old German Shepherd mix puppy and nearly 65 lbs, he's still growing— and full of playful energy.He loves to run, play fetch, and zoom around the yard, though he settles down quickly after his bursts of fun. A fenced-in yard is a must for Max so he can safely burn off energy. He enjoys long walks, but he does pull on the leash—training classes would help, and he’d love the chance to keep learning. He already sits for treats and is eager to learn more!Max is very affectionate and won't hesitate to climb into your lap for some extra love. He gets along well with other dogs but isn’t a fan of cats. He’d also be excited to meet kids—if you have them, he'd love to say hello!Max would make a wonderful family dog. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion, Max might just be the perfect fit.Thank you for showing an interest in our pets. We can never guarantee the breeds of the animals. We do not DNA test.

Story
Fall in LOVE with Sam!! Super sweet boy, master of the head tilt. Sam was previously a full time outdoor dog with a family, until his owners living situation changed and he found himself at the shelter which is no place for a working breed as they REALLY struggle in the shelter environment. Sam is also available for foster or foster to adopt or better yet to adopt! At absolutely no fault of his own, Sam was in foster and was returned. Experience and love for this active breed is a must. The match for sweet Sam will be someone that will not give up on him and understands that training is beneficial for everyone, as that is what he deserves. Here’s what we know about him ❤️ 🐾 3 years old 🐾 Neutered 🐾 85lbs 🐾 Comfortable w/ people, getting used to pets! 🐾 Loves stuffies 🐾 Not sure of other dogs 🐾 HW+, rescue will handle all treatment 🐾 Needs time to adjust to indoor living 🐾 Working on leash walking skills and force free training techniques, crating, etc! 🐾 Learning his manners ❤️ He is looking for an experienced adopter who would be committed to continuing force free training methods with him. Currently looking for an only dog home where he can decompress, work on his basic skills and bond with his humans. If our silly boy Sam seems like the perfect match for you, please be sure to send an inquiry. *Breed is a guess based on appearance

Story
𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑶𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆! 🐾 Olive is smart, loyal, and incredibly affectionate—a true Velcro dog who adores her walks and snuggle time . Olive’s journey hasn’t been the easiest. She was found as a stray on someone’s porch, feeling unwell due to low thyroid hormone levels. Thankfully, with the right medication, Olive is now thriving and feeling much better! 💊 She’s been working hard on her crate training to overcome some separation anxiety. Thanks to her dedicated foster and a trainer, she has made remarkable progress and continues to improve every day. ❤️ Olive would do best in a home with older children, as she’s done wonderfully with 5- and 6-year-olds but feels a bit uneasy around toddlers. She’s also looking for a home where she can be the only dog, so she can soak up all the love and attention. 🐾 This resilient and loving girl is more than ready to find her forever home. 🏠 𝒞𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒷𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓎𝑜𝓊? 🥰 ▪️2.5 years old / Female 🩷 ▪️German Shepherd Mix ▪️Loyal, Smart, Affectionate ▪️Enjoys Walks & Loves Snuggles ▪️A true Velcro Dog ▪️Best with Older Children ▪️Working on Crate Training 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: https://airtable.com/appRel0u6Xk5zFI8e/shrgRzyCwZOVjZUxp *If the link does not work, copy and paste into your search bar.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rocky, a spirited 1-year-old Belgian Malinois mix looking for his forever home! Rocky is full of energy and loves to stay active, making him a great companion for an equally energetic family. He enjoys playing fetch, chewing on bones, and spending time with other dogs, though his enthusiasm might be a bit much for more laid-back pups. Rocky has a high prey drive, so a home with a secure, fenced yard is a must to keep him safe as he explores. While he’s still learning to walk nicely on a leash, he’s eager to please and ready for some training. Despite his high energy, Rocky has a sweet side and loves to cuddle after a day of play. If you’re looking for a lively and affectionate companion, Rocky could be the perfect match!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  ********************************************************************************** We show some of our adoptable dogs at PetSmart, Utica, each Saturday between the hours of 11:00am and 3:00pm.  Cats typically don't do well at events, so they only attend with a pre-approved meet and greet appointment.
